text: SEEKING FREELANCERS - NYC or Bay Area preferred - Remote is okay<p>Lambda is a talent agency for freelance developers and designers. We help you find clients, negotiate for higher rates, and take care of the business side of freelancing.<p><pre><code>  - Exceptional talent only: $100&#x2F;hr minimum rate.
  - No recruiters or spam. We&#x27;re developers too and we only match consultants with projects that fit their expertise and interest.
  - Serious clients only: Wanna hear about a disruptive social network for cats that &quot;just needs a coder&quot;? Neither do we.
  - Freelancers with side projects or startups are especially welcome!

If that&#x27;s appealing, you can read more and sign up at: <a href="http://getlambda.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;getlambda.com&#x2F;</a><p>We&#x27;ve posted about this on HN a few times and have been amazed by the response. I apologize in advance if it takes a while for us to get back to you -- we interview everyone personally and are still ramping up the process.<p>Right now, we&#x27;re particularly looking for NYC Rails devs and SF iOS devs, but anyone else based in the US is still welcome to apply!

We are looking for another developer to support our work.<p>You should be extremely comfortable with WordPress and web development, and be able to collaborate with designers to go from PSD to responsive layout.<p>WordPress, JavaScript, and general PHP will compose much of the work. We are also exploring visualizations with D3 and other JavaScript libraries. Any additional web development skills and interests you have will probably find an outlet here.<p>This position is contract-to-hire, starting part-time and possibly transitioning to full-time eventually. You can be remote during the contractor portion but may need to be in NYC to make the transition to FT.

text: Remote is fine. We&#x27;re based out of Columbus, Ohio. This would be a fairly short-term project (a few weeks to a month)<p>We&#x27;re a small startup building a Rails app and a core piece of it is generating a fairly complex PDF document from an existing template. Ruby doesn&#x27;t have the greatest PDF tooling, so I could be convinced to use something else for this piece, but sticking with ruby would be ideal.<p>Would love to find someone with relevant experience generating complex PDF&#x27;s.<p>You can read more about us here: <a href="http://nextchapterbk.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;nextchapterbk.com</a><p>If you&#x27;re interested, you can email me at adam [at] nextchapterbk.com

text: Remote or Silicon valley area<p>Seeing Android lead to make mobile app for file browsing and media streaming.<p>The app is a file browser and the API is already running. The API has been proven to work with the iOS mobile client we just built. We need to make the same with Android. It&#x27;s somewhat different, but you can think of it like a dropbox-like client.<p>You should be capable of easily dealing with REST interfaces, have a great sensibility for simple and effective user interfaces and be capable of quick iterations to get the app in deployed to our community.<p>The app code is expected to be released open source after a while.<p>Email jobs at amahi.
